Re: I'm really leaving the U.S. for a 3rd world country because of politics
FACT: I am. I was also planning on moving if Hillary became president, because fuck this.
You do not have the liberty to emigrate. As an American you can only become an expat. You'll have to pay taxes to the IRS regardless of where you live. Your children (if any) have to pay too. Refusing to do so will get you in deep shit.
p.s. throw away account
)You have the liberty of renouncing your American passport, which is a very simple process (if you don't have any pending tax payments). The IRS is not going to tax the non-citizens.
You don't have to renounce your passport. Your passport isn't you. The "person" of your passport is one of your persons. This person isn't you, because you breathe and have flesh and bones; it doesn't. The person of your passport is a tiny representation of you. It isn't you.
Answer truthfully if asked if that is you on your passport. But answer wisely. The passport is only a representation of you, and not a very good one.
